Soon, the dishes were served on the table. There were several vegetarian dishes as well as fish and ssoup. These were all Alicia's favorite dishes. As Alicia swept her eyes across the table, she knew that Mrs. Clements had specifically asked the chef to prepare them. The last dish to be served was a steak dish, which she guessed was for Frederick.
As soon as all the food was served, they picked up their cutlery and began eating. They ate and chatted casually. Alicia was excited when Mrs. Clements told them all about her trip.

Frederick was afraid that it would not be conducive to her recovery process if she ate too much. He said, "Alicia, you can only have a little to satisfy your cravings. Don't be too greedy!" "Oh..." After replying, Alicia said to Mrs. Clements in a low voice, "Grandma, can you please stop him?" Suddenly, Mrs. Clements laughed out loud, "I'm so glad to see you guys like this! However, Frederick's right! You cannot be too greedy although there is so much good food on the table!" Even though she was away on her trip, she knew what had happened! In fact, this time, she cback just to visit Alicia.
But from the moment Alicia and Frederick stepped into the house, all they talked about were happy matters. They did not mention anything about the Clements family or Alicia being shot.

After dinner, Alicia went into the kitchen to cut sfruits and then brought them out to the living room. The three of them sat on the couch and chatted for a long time.
Soon after, Mrs. Clements brought out the gold statue that she had bought for Alicia. Alicia was shocked when she saw it. She thought it was something she could wear around her neck, but she did not expect that it'd be a 20-metre tall golden Jesus statue.

It was not until ten o'clock that the two of them got up and were ready to leave. Before heading hfor the night, Mrs. Clements deliberately asked Miranda to take Alicia to the storeroom to see if there was anything she liked. She spoke seriously to Frederick.
"Frederick, you should be careful when you deal with outsiders in the future. Don't be too cruel. You should at least reserve sleeway
